Sweet Potato Rolls

It has been a very busy week in my professional life and in times like these I do what any good New Yorker would do - call for delivery! However, I want to make sure that I eat healthy especially when I'm stressed and busy, so it's important for me that I stay raw. All week I have stopped by One Lucky Duck for a delicious carry-out. Tonight I called Cafe Blossom and ordered their Autumn Sweet Potato Rolls. Essentially, they wrap up organic veggies (and coconut meat) in a thinly sliced piece of sweet potato. It is served with an almond ginger dipping sauce. They are just what I need to be nourished enough to put my nose back to the grindstone.

Creamy Mushroom Heaven

Today I went to Organic Avenue (101 Stanton St) with the intention to buy body lotion.  More details will follow on the subject of body lotion another time.

Organic Avenue has a wonderful prepared foods section and the friendly sales associate recommended their Portobello Reuben Wrap.  I am a huge fan of mushrooms and was concerned initially that they HAD to bee cooked.  Luckily, they don't and the flavors of some of the different varieties of mushrooms (it's not just all white button mushrooms anymore) actually stand out more when prepared through uncookery.

It turns out that this Portobello Reuben Wrap is no exception.  It has flavorful portobellos, raw cream cheese (pine nuts and cashews), and sauerkraut encased in a scrumptious flax seed wrap.  I would kill to live right next door to this store.  Definitely try them if you're in the New York City area.
